Ladies and gentlemen, Liverpool are back on their perch.
If the Reds winning the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup and Premier League in recent years wasn’t enough to convince you of their newfound status under Jurgen Klopp, their latest transfer activity should hammer such a fact home once and for all.
Luring Luis Diaz to Anfield for an initial £37.5m is a sensational deal for the club to complete. Even with all the add-ons, taking the potential outlay to £49m, it seems a relatively meagre spend on such a highly-rated talent - even in this pandemic-ridden transfer market we’ve witnessed over the past two years.
